Your game ticket cannot be exchanged at the ticket office. Your ticket is now good for the newly rescheduled game only.

Scenario 2: The game is officially postponed and rescheduled as a part of a doubleheader. If this scenario occurs, fans will have to exchange their tickets at the Bethpage Ballpark box office for a ticket of equal or lesser value for a future Ducks regular season home game that year (subject to availability).
